Buddhists don't have a concept of "paradise" which is equivalent to those in Christianity, Judaism or Islam. Buddhists believe that our experience of reality in the every day world is confused, and dream like. When we are asleep and dreaming, we aren't aware that there is another one of us - our waking selves - experiencing reality differently than we do in our dreams. Likewise, our day-to-day waking reality is not all there is, and through practicing Dharma, we can "wake up" to the true nature of reality. When we awaken in this way, we are enlightened, and that might be similar to other concepts of paradise, but Buddhists also believe that paradise or enlightenment is here right now, all around us, and all we need to do is recognize it.

The method for reaching that understanding of the true nature of reality varies amongst the different sects and paths that Buddhists take. One common method is meditation. When one learns to focus one's attention single-pointedly, one can comprehend the true nature of reality. There are various meditation techniques which all have the goal of awakening.
